I saw this a couple of years ago, when it was just a project. Now that there's a price, how did you guys decide on a price? How did you find your first customers? For a broadly applicable tool, how did you know where to start looking?

We initially had a lot of uncertainty on how to price it but wanted to experiment with more users rather than fewer, with the premise that if it were very successful we could scale up.

I think if I were to start again or spend much time restructuring it, I'd probably focus a lot more on enterprise customers. That would be quite a bit of work though, so I don't have intentions of doing that soon.

I feel like this was a big missed opportunity to link to your exploratory pricing guesstimate.

Wouldn’t it be cool if they got it from their own spreadsheet?

Yeah, I wonder if they did. That would be an interesting spreadsheet to keep updated as people kept purchasing to update their model.
